Card games are a prevalent mobile casino pastime but few players are
aware of the origins of card gaming for real money. Card games were
first played in ancient China in the 9th century and quickly became popular throughout Asia. The passtime of card playing arrived in Europe in the 14th
century where the cards were designed and valued based on the political
events and customs of the day. These early cards were hand-painted on
wood plaques and subsequently, on woodcuts. In the 15th
century paper cards were introduced featuring batons, wands, cups,
swords, coins and rings as the symbols on the cards. Card games became a
standard feature at land-based casinos in the 19th century.
Today many mobile casino players play iphone casino, ipad casino and
android casino card games at their mobile casino. Mobile casino card
game favorites include mobile versions of blackjack and poker.
